CAMPAIGN DEADLINE: FRIDAY
The corporate media would like nothing more than to have Common Dreams
disappear and never come back. And if we were just another for-profit
news outlet, they could buy us out or cut off our advertising. But as
long as we have you, our grassroots donors, we will never get bought out
or shut down. Please help us raise the $25,000 we need to reach our
Summer Campaign goal by Friday.
Will you help to make sure we have the funding we need to keep standing
up to the powerful forces who wish we didn't exist?
